twohundredfiftysixcolors (2013) by Eric Fleischauer and Jason Lazarus, 97:00, silent

“Crafted from over 3,000 animated GIFs, twohundredfiftysixcolors is an expansive and revealing portrait of what has become a zeitgeist medium. Once used primarily as an Internet page signpost, the file type has evolved into a nimble and ubiquitous tool for pop-cultural memes, self-expression, and artistic gestures. The film is a curated archive that functions as a historical document charting the GIF's evolution, its connections to early cinema, and its contemporary cultural and aesthetic possibilities.”

Hah, look at the color variation from these two photos. Top image from MoCP site and below from Fleischauer's website. I'm guessing the bottom image is the correct one. Apologies, Eric Fleischauer!

A particularly fitting mashup for you this week, John. 

A belated birthday gift, perhaps?
